9. D.Min Project

The D.Min. program includes the design and completion of a written doctoral level project which addresses both the nature and the practice of ministry. The project should identify a specific concern in ministry, organize an effective research model, utilize appropriate resources and evaluate the results, as well as reflect depth of theological insight in its relation to ministry. The project should make a contribution to the practice of ministry as judged by professional standards and in relation to the purpose of the program, and have potential for application in other contexts of ministry.

A requirement for admission to the D.Min. program is a proposal for the doctoral project. Using the Turabian Author-Date option (also referred to as parenthetical references and reference list or social sciences format), write a formal paper exploring a possible doctoral ministry-focused final project.

Please consider the following guidelines:
-Select a significant issue or problem in ministry that is proportional to available resources.
-Include a concise statement of the ministry need, problem or challenge (who, what and how). State the target audience, location, importance of the topic, and reason(s) for your interest in the subject.
-The proposal should be 5 pages and contain an annotated bibliography of 7-10 sources that may be used in your project.

10. Lifestyle Agreements and Statements

We believe that the Bible is the authority for doctrine and living and that personal purity and piety of personal life should be the goal of each Christian. Men and women who aspire to Christian leadership must develop standards and values, which are rooted in the Word of God. ATS students often form groups for mutual support and spiritual growth. They associate with a local church for worship and service. ATS seeks candidates for admission whose life-style and personal demeanor commend them to ministry.
